A few of my campaign interns have introduced me to your art. I'm impressed by your soulful and futuristic style that interbreeds Sam Cooke with Judy Garland. I'm captivated by your astonishing gift to convey heavy issues with symbolic design. And, I find your message to be powerful yet fun. I wish nothing but the best for you. Continue to introduce us to all the Wondaland Art Society has to offer. Wishing you nothing but the best.
